In America, you must love it and keep it forever to work for you.
I peddled a tiresome Guyot for over year, and never to the local ammo-beer & bait shops mind you. Not much interest, and in the end sold it off at a loss.
It was a good enuff gun, but I became somewhat a politico hot head - sent most things Euro packing.
Bam-bam-bam went an Audi, Guyot and Anschutz 1710.
It was good for me, and had a smoke!
